New York in 1883.

The Democratic victory in New York
is claimed by the Bourbon organs as
conclusively settling the contest in that
State, and 10 the nation, in favor of the
Democratic candidate in 1888, who. they
all concede, will be Grover Cleveland
An examination of the facts and figures
does not seem to justify this claim
Cleveland carried the state in 1884 by II
plurality of 1,047 votes in total of
1,171.312, the Probibitionist candidate
polling 25,025 votes and the Greenback
labor candidate 1902 votes. This year
the head of the Democratic ticket has IA
plurality of 10000 in a total of pro6a-
bly, not more than 100000, the Prohi'
bitionist candidate having about $4,000
aud the Labor candidate 10000 votes
The vote this year is certainly 800, 900
short of what will be east next year.
The claims of Cleveland's nomination
and election in 1888, now current in the
Democratic press, are made without con-
sidering these 100000 votes not cast this
year, and are predicated upon the Pro
hibition and Labor candidates polling as
many votes next year as this. We need
only state these facts to convince any
unprejudiced mind that the Democratic
claims in regard to New York in next
years contest are absolutely worthless
Those who make them do not know any
more about how New York will 60 in
1888 than they did month ago. With
as strong a candidate in 1888 as they
bad in 1880, the Republicans will have "a
far better chance of carrying New York
than the Democrats possibly can have
with Cleveland. Any one of two or
three Republicans who might be named
would be as strong in that State rs Gar
field was, and he carried it by over 2l.-
600 plurality. Republicans need not
concern themselves about premature
Democratic claims in regard to the En- =
pire State-Cleveland Leader.

to vote here. His vote was challenged,

The last question was answered in

to him-"Are you not in the employ of
Chicago newspaper, and do you not
expect to remain there as long AS the
employment suits you, and you suit your

MEANING OFTHE OHIO VICTORY

The Ohio Republicans opeaed their
campaign with hearty and eyoQuivo>
cal Endorsement of Senator Sherman as
u Presidential candidate in 1888. They
iudorsed also the off :ial conduct of Gov.
Foraker and his position on certain
questions at issue between himself and
President Cleveland. The point was
made early in the canvass that the in>
dorsement of Sherman as Presidential
candidate would be d heavy burden for
the Republicans to carry. The result
as it stands in the returns of the vote
cast is an Endorsement of Sherman and
yindication of Foraker. The Repub~
lican plurality on the State ticket is
larger than it was two years ago, a re
suit not unexpected by those who res
member that whenever the Republicans
of Ohio have had al opportunity to ex
press their approval of the course of or
their confidence in Senator Sherman
they have taken advantage of 1t. When
ever Sherman has entered canvass in
Ohio and has made an appeal to the
voters, the Republicans have won by 4
handsome plurality. There could be no
better evidence of the strength and pop
ularity of Republican leader in his
own State than such recOrd.-ChicagO
